Hello! I'm new to here and to CFD in general, I'm looking to learn allot. I'm currently a second year engineering student in Arizona, and I'm doing this for fun and experience with the student licenses.

I have a model of a centrifugal water pump and impeller, and I'm trying to get the program to output a graph or a chart of the volume flow through a plane positioned at the outlet. The impeller part is rotating from 0 rpm at an acceleration of 5000rpm/s, and the boundary conditions (temperature and pressure) are steady state for the inlet and outlet. I don't knew if this changes anything, but both my inlet and outlet faces are identified as outlets in the output monitor.

I ran the simulation partway through to see if everything was working right, and was able to take out most the data I was expecting, but now I'm completely stuck. I would appreciate either a push in the right direction or a tutorial of some sort.

Is there any other information you guys need from me?

Thanks!

How about using Monitor Points? These are plotted with every iteration
Are you aware that Autodesk Simulation CFD has it's own forum? Might be quicker to get answers there.
